Hi,
can someone help me I have a submit form that contains one text field where the user will input the name of a customer. I would like all the letters to be converted to uppercase irrespective of how the data is entered. I tried
Code: 
,input name="txtCust" type="text" id="txtCust" onKeyUp = "toUpperCase" size="18" maxlength="15"
But that does not seem to work

Regards

Olly

if you want to use javascript the code would be

Code: 
onchange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase

or using ASP (vbScript) as this is the aformentioned forum
Code: 
variable = ucase(request.form("inputname"))

Chris,
Could you explain where to put either of these pieces of code. I do not seem to be able to get either one working

Hello optjco,

Another method is to use inline style.

[tt]<input name="txtCust" type="text" [blue]style="text-transform: uppercase"[/blue] id="txtCust" onKeyUp = "toUpperCase" size="18" maxlength="15">[/tt]

until whatever toUpperCase you eventually decide to script.

tsuji,
tried that only problem is that although it looks like uppercase when the name is submitted back to the DataBase the Customer name is still lowercase

optjco,

Yes, that's why it's until...

Howabout trying this.
Code: 
sub toUpperCase
    txtCust.value=ucase(txtCust.value)
end sub

Further notes:

In case---very likely so---your input tag is within a form, say named "test", then always within the spirit of what ChristHirst advised you already, for onkeyup event, it would be something like this.
Code: 
sub toUpperCase
    document.forms("test").txtCust.value = ucase(document.forms("test").txtCust.value)
end sub

optjco,

If your experience here is very limited, it is fair enough to have a bit of struggling. An example will put you on the track.
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script language="vbscript">
sub show
	msgbox document.forms("test").txtCust.value
end sub

sub toUpperCase
	document.forms("test").txtCust2.value=ucase(document.forms("test").txtCust2.value)
end sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="test">
<input name="txtCust"  type="text" style="text-transform: uppercase" id="txtCust" size=18 maxlength=15 onKeyup="show"><br>
<input name="txtCust2" type="text" id="txtCust2" onKeyup = "toUpperCase" size=18 maxlength=15>
</form>
</body>
</html>
(no server-side here, add your action for the form.)
